10 Hardest Bosses In Resident Evil History

8. Super Tyrant 'Mr. X' - Resident Evil 2 Remake

Throughout the first chunk of the Resident Evil 2 Remake, you'll be pursued by the pasty-faced beefcake known as Mr. X.

He's an incredibly intimidating presence, but imagine our surprise, however, when we realised that despite his imposing nature, he's fairly easy to evade and even easier to incapacitate if you've got the right weapon.

Considering he's a pushover throughout most of the game, it came as quite a shock to many when he returned at the game's tail end for one last hurrah - complete with a giant claw that he plans on using to liberate your organs from their fleshy prison.

Like many other bosses on this list, you have to fight this uber version of Mr. X in a confined space, one that only gets more claustrophobic as debris begins to fall all around you. Said debris can be useful for evading his instant-death attack, but more often than not, you'll find yourself stuck between a rock and muscle-man and he'll reign his fury down upon you like nobody's business.

After a couple of tries, you'll become aware of his tells and how best to avoid him, but it's highly unlikely you'll come out of this battle unscathed.
